This is my 05 Kawasaki 636 I recently finished
Remote controlled Air FX Air Ride
Stretched 12"
Shaved Left Headlight
Shaved Front Turn signals
Shaved Key Ignition
Smoothed Gastank Panels
Race Tail with Tail light Added
Toggle Switch Panel for Ignition, Head Light, Fan and Air Ride
Paint by Street Driven Customs
Vortex Rearsets, Clipons, Rear Sprocket, and Gas Cap
Carrozzeria Wheels
Luimoto Seat
Galfer Rotors and Brake Lines
Power Commander lll, Ignition and Quick Shifter
Bridgestone Race Slicks
Samco Sport Radiator Hoses
Werkes Exhaust
So sad to see this done to what used to be a nice bike
Edit;
I definitely don't see the point of doing... well, ANY of these mods to a 636. However, the craftsmanship that goes into it is rather impressive fro a garage build.

That's a beautiful machine, very well done. It's a shame nobody understands what they're looking at.

Looks like it's been done very well. However, I genuinely don't understand the purpose of extended swingarms on what is supposed to be a light nimble sports bike. What is the benefit of doing this?

People modify their bikes for different purposes. In a perfect world we would all ride the same exact bike for the same exact purpose, I guess.
Boring......
BTW: the extended swingarm is to keep the front wheel on the ground under hard acceleration.

I'm with the majority I guess. I respect the level of the build, and I'll say that it does look kind of nice. However I think the end product is relatively useless, it's pretty much not street legal, and you can't take it to a road track. Sure, I guess you could take it to a 1/4, but then everyone with a liter bike and nitrous is going to annihilate you, so I don't really see the point unless it's 100% for looks.

I think it's a shame to see all this hard work getting shit on in here.
How many of you have built anything on this level?

First of all thanks to the guys with the positive comments. I guess I'll never understand the sportbike community, you guys act like sportbikes can only be used for one thing and that one thing is what YOU happen to like, try being a little more open minded! I have done it all when it comes to sportbikes, road raced a little bit of stunt and have been ridding on the streets for around 16 years, Im not some squid that took his bike to the local shop and told them to trick it out. I built this bike 100% in my garage and I am damn proud of it! I wanted a full blown custom with a race bike feel to it and this was the end result, I obviously didnt build it to tear up any twisty roads, it was built to show, take to bike nights and just have some fun on.
And for those that say I ruined this bike..... I will post up some pics of what it looked like when I started on it, this thing was about two steps away from the junk yard.
So maybe we can all put our ego's to the side and stop acting like you are the most hard core rider in this whole forum and everyone else's rides suck because they dont look just like yours.
